Perhaps feeling the heat after seeing the markup feature now included with OS X Yosemite, Evernote-owned Skitch debuted version 3.2 of its own free markup app for iOS last week. Featuring a top-to-bottom redesign, the app is said to make the entire process much easier than before, with additional helpful settings for Evernote users and new social PDF sharing. Curious what else happened over the weekend while you were spending time with Dad? Read on to find out more...

Bitcoin Wallet Apps Slowly Returning to App Store

Apple banished apps having anything to do with the bitcoin virtual currency earlier this year, but CoinDesk reported Sunday that at least one app entitled Coinpocket has made a triumphant return to the App Store. Described as having a "fairly basic" feature set including QC code scanning, Coinpocket is the first such app to appear in the wake of Apple's policy update last week that now allows "approved" digital currencies, while two other apps named eGifter and Betcoin actually allow in-app bitcoin purchases which circumvent the 30 percent cut paid to Cupertino.

Resellers Complain iPhone Activation Costing Them Business

The Verge reported Friday that iOS 7's relatively new security measures are great for consumers whose iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch are stolen, but not so fantastic for legitimate resellers, who often wind up having to destroy such devices instead of recycling them. Once enabled, iPhone Activation requires the user to provide an Apple ID and accompanying password whenever a device is erased and reactivated — but if that information can't be acquired, the device is as good as dead, and often gutted for parts. It's worth noting that Apple has its own reuse and recycle program, which could be why the company isn't much interested in working with third-party resellers.

Unofficial Importer Ports iTunes Playlists to Beats Music

Jonesing to get your iTunes or Rdio playlists into Beats Music? While there's no official method, an enterprising developer has taken advantage of the Beats API to create a web-based Beats Importer beta, which allows listeners to export an iTunes XML playlist file (yes, you'll have to do them one at a time) into Beats Music. The process is a bit slow and cumbersome right now, but it does work for the most part, assuming all of the tracks in question are available from Beats. The online tool can also hook up with Rdio as well as accept CSV files, but if you're doing iTunes XML, be sure to choose the file, click submit, then choose the file a second time before entering a Beats playlist name and clicking submit again, otherwise nothing will happen.

Dropbox Sync Support Added to Screens for iOS, Mac

There's an increasing trend among developers offering Mac App Store titles to add Dropbox in addition to the apparently finicky iCloud, and Edovia has become the latest to do so with Mac and iOS updates to screen-sharing app Screens. Whether you purchase Screens for Mac from Apple's storefront or direct from Edovia, you'll now have the option to sync data via Dropbox, while iCloud remains a MAS-only option (presumably until the release of OS X Yosemite, at which time Apple will finally loosen restrictions that have thus far kept iCloud limited to the Mac App Store).

Priceline Names It Own Price of $2.6B for OpenTable

The headline pretty much says it all on this deal: Reuters (via CNBC) reported Friday that travel website Priceline is shelling out $2.6 billion to acquire favored Apple partner OpenTable, presumably because all those travelers who buy discounted tickets also need to find somewhere to eat. The offer price of $103 per share is a 46 percent premium over OpenTable's stock price at the close of business last Thursday, and the deal is viewed as a way for Priceline to increase revenue since the travel business doesn't offer much room for growth. Does this mean we'll soon see William Shatner in commercials schilling for OpenTable as well...?
